Article summary


Who's this for: People with a Forecast seat
Where to go: Deals > Forecast

If you’re a quota carrier or managing quota carriers, you’ll get a reminder when it’s time to submit your forecast or your team forecast. You can then submit your numbers on the go, from the mobile app.

Quota carriers: Submit your own forecast

If you're a quota-carrier, you’ll get a reminder an hour before it’s time to submit your forecast for a specific line of business. For example, if you're set to submit your "New business" forecast every week, you'll get a weekly reminder similar to this one:

To submit your forecast:

  1. Tap the reminder or go to Deals > Forecast.

  2. If you tap the reminder, the board and timeframe are preselected for you. If you enter manually through Deals > Forecast, you'll need to select them. Until you submit your forecast, you’ll see whether the forecast is due or overdue:

  3. Select the forecast category you want to update and tap its card.

  4. Update your forecast for the selected category. Leave notes for your manager to add context.

  5. Tap Update. When you complete all categories in a selected line of business, you’ll be notified. Your manager will be notified 2 hours after the due time.

    Notes

    If you’re both a manager and a quota carrier, you’ll see the option to submit your individual numbers.
